BOTTICELLI  - TRIAL OF MOSES - PAGE 2

Unveiling Christianity

Curtain pulled back

- There are many things in our Bible we've never been told about.
- As Christians we're given a very narrow understanding of life and sometimes we get discouraged because we think of the Bible as a parable and we can't crack the code.
- It's true, there are some parables that are hard to understand so you've got to understand how to interpret those things.
- But it isn't that it's just all a parable, because some of it is plain English and yet we've never been allowed to see what it all means.

Nations

- Think about it, we're instructed that the whole world is evil and pagan, and that it's something bad.
- Except the word pagan simply means 'nations.'
- Which is kind of strange because we're the nations, but we're told to avoid them.
- This was something that came from Judaism which taught their congregation to only love the Jewish nation.

Samaritans

- The Jews were taught to stay away from the pagans, separate themselves.
- Jesus came along and he wasn't a Jew and he didn't teach Judaism.
- Instead he condemned the Pharisees and told his disciples to love everyone even the Samaritan who the Jews hated.
- A Samaritan in the Bible was a person from Samaria, a region north of Jerusalem.
- The Jewish people of Galilee and Judea shunned the Samaritans, viewing them as a mixed race who practiced an impure, half-pagan religion.

Female slave

-  Of course the entire New Testament is about the gospels and how the Gentiles are one body with the Jews.
- It's all one Greek or Jew, it doesn't matter, male or female, we even are living in a theosophy and a religious view that says that not only does it not matter whether you're a Gentile, but also, what race you are.
- Plus it doesn't matter what gender you are which kind of excludes the whole Judaism thing anyway, because Judaism is about slavery, and women have to be slaves and they're not considered equal.

Many Gods and many Lords

- Except, we're all equal and spite of Judaism everyone knows that, male and female, and we all know that Christians know that's what we teach, but we're still separating ourselves from others.
- One of the biggest tactics to accomplish this is using the word 'pagan' because they worship another God and that's evil.
- Well there is another God and the New Testament tells you about that God.
- The New Testament says that God is the God of this world so there may be many gods and many Lords.

Lord

- But as apostle Paul said, for us, there is only one God and Lord, Jesus Christ.
- The problem is many Christians will hear a verse like that and come to the conclusion that this must be a pagan view, so it's got to be bad, after all, what about the god of Israel, YHWH he's the one who claimed to be the 'I am the one and only god.'
- Except Jesus is the one who said, 'I am the way the truth and the life and everybody has to come through me.'
- Then unfortunately, we avoid a lot of other verses that would explain all of this.

First and Last

- Jesus told us, 'I am the First and the Last, says the Lord God who is and was and is to come, the Ruler of all.'
- And that 'I am the root and the offspring of David, I was dead and now I'm alive forever more.'
- When Jesus said he was the offspring, we know he meant he was a descendant of David, but what did he mean by the root?
- Just as the branch, descendant's come from the tree, the root also comes from the tree, it's the beginning before it grows up and sprouts.

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (John 14:6)

Family tree

- The Bible talks about a line of kings as a tree often, and the tender branch is a princely ruler of that country and the animals would take refuge under the tree that represented a line of kings.
- The root of the line of kings would have to be the ancestors so when Jesus says 'I am the root and the offspring' he is saying he is the ancestor of David.

Funeral flowers

- All of this might come as a surprise to many who practice Christendom because they believe things like you only live once, they've never been taught about reincarnation.
- Also, they believe that because he's part of a trinity, he was never human and never suffered because he's God, except in this life we knew him as Jesus, he learned by the things he suffered.

Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered. (Hebrews 5:8)

In the flesh as brother

- The point is that Jesus learned by the things he suffered and also that he partook of the flesh as his brothers.
- Reincarnation means we all have to go through life as a physical person and grow and learn and we have to keep coming back to continue growing and learning.
- The Bible talks about this sort of transmigration of the soul through the fish, birds, mammals, humans and then in the resurrection to come, we're exalted to that of the Moon, and the Sun and the stars.
- And each star differs in size and glory.

White rabbit

- This means it's a graduation, a progression and both reincarnation and transmigration are taught in the Bible.
- If Jesus was saying he was the root and offspring of David, could he have actually been someone in our past, has he been here many times?
- In order to answer that, all we have to do is look at Hebrews where it talks about Melchizedek and it says he had no genealogy, no beginning of days and no end of life.
- It's easy to think maybe that's just symbolic but who was it talking about when it asks 'who is this man who was greater than Abraham.'

Jebusites

- We learn about a man who met with Abraham that lived in the past that's spoken of in the Bible in Genesis who actually lived and breathed on this earth, who was the priest of the Most High, not YHWH (Jehovah).
- He was the priest of the Most High, El Elyon, and he was the priest of Salem, which we call Jerusalem today and it was originally a Jebusite city.
- Before Abraham and his people were in that area, there were other people there.

King of Righteousness

- According to the Book of Joshua, Adoni-Zedek was king of Jerusalem at the time of the Israelite invasion of Canaan.
- Adoni means Lord Zedek, whereas Melch means King Zedek and that means Righteousness, or Melchizedek.
- Lord Zedek would be the Lord of Righteousness, but that's not the same person and it's about 200 years later.
- This means that is Melchidezek was the king of Salem at the time Abraham lived, by the time another few hundred years passed, he was no longer there anymore.
- Whether he died, or whatever happened to King Zedek, we have to assume he probably died and the kingdom was given to Lord Zedek.

Lord of Righteousness

- Adoni-Zedek wasn't necessarily a perfect righteous man.
- The Bible dosen't say that it was the same person or that it was another person who was also perfect and holy, because that person was not the one that the Most High wanted to be in that position.
- Melchizedek handed on that great priesthood the kingly priesthood, the King of Righteousness to Abraham.
- Who then passed it down the line to Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph, all the way down to David and of course to Christ.
- The Melchizedek priesthood was not the line of the Levites of Moses, it was a higher priesthood.

Blessings

- When Joshua went into the land of Salem he conquered the king of the Jebusite city.
- So obviously before the Israelites went into the land, there was a priesthood there that evidently fallen into some error and the Most High chose to replace it with another person, a descendant of Noah.
- This was Abraham and he was sent out and told his son Jacob that he was going to be the father of a multitude of nations and he brought out bread and wine and blessed him.

Multitude of Nations

- Melchizedek has 'neither beginning of days nor end of life,' which is a way of saying he is without genealogy and lineage, resembling the eternal nature of God's Son.
- This emphasizes his unique and timeless priestly role, distinct from the Levitical priesthood.
- Was he perhaps a man born of a virgin, a savior type figure, there were individuals before Jesus walked this earth who were also greater than Abraham.

Someone greater than Abraham

- Remember when the Pharisees came up to Jesus and asked him who he was.
- Jesus replied, before Abraham was, I am and that he was greater than Abraham and someone greater than Abraham is here.
- Someone greater than the law is here who could it have been?
- In the history we've got, the history of this earth, we know of great saviors that weren't Levites or Jews, just like this person would have to be because he existed before the Jews who came many years later.

“Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!” (John 8:58)

Crown

- Our histories say there was a man, a very important person who came and walked this earth and did many amazing things.
- Born of a virgin, a person who had no beginning of days nor end of life, a person who was a savior who came and walked this earth and it tells of this particular person over and over again.
- This man has arrived in each of the kingdoms of this world and conversed with some and then left again in a very mysterious way.
- In some areas of the world they received him as Krishna and other times they may have received him as Zarathustra and he's also been known to the world as Buddha and Lord Rama.

Magi gifts

- Lord Rama is in our history way back about 5000 BC and Krishna about 3000 BC.
- In all their ancient teachings there are prophecies about a man who will come again and indeed he has already come and it is Jesus.
- This is why the three wise men, the priests from the east, the Magi, came, they followed the astrological star to his birth where they took off their crowns and bowed to our Lord Jesus.
- And they said this was the one that was foretold to come in this day.
- When Jesus left he said, 'I will come again.'

Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. (Isaiah 7:14)

Carnal thinking

- Jesus is indeed the one who's always with us, always teaching.
- Remember whenever Jesus was with his disciples he tried to teach them things but it was hard for all of them to grasp it because they were Jews and were thinking very one-dimensional.
- They were following truths that had been veiled by Moses and so it was hard to grasp because their mind was very carnal.
- They couldn't grasp spiritual things so Jesus told them he had many things he wanted to tell them, but they're not ready to receive them.

Moses installed the veil

- Jesus wanted them to tarry in Jerusalem and be born again and the Holy Spirit will teach you all things you need to know, in the hour in which you need to know.
- It was through the Holy Spirit that they received all the revelations and they were taught by the Holy Spirit, not by any man.
- Jesus took Peter, James and John up to a mountain and the Bible said he shone like a light and he was transformed before them,

After six days Jesus took with Him Peter, James, and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light.  (Matthew 17:1-3)

Moses appeared

- Moses and Elijah appeared but remember though Moses was there, you have to remember that it would be Elijah that would be the forerunner of Christ, not Moses.
- It was Elijah that was prophesied to restore all things and so indeed the work of Elijah was very great.
- And Jesus said there was no prophet born of a woman who was greater than Elijah.
- Undoubtably the Jews would have said Moses, but not Jesus because Jesus said Moses brought the law, but he brought the truth.

Suddenly Moses and Elijah appeared before them, talking with Jesus. Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If You wish, I will put up three shelters—one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” While Peter was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to Him!” When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown in terror. (Matthew 17:4-6)

Law arrives

For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. (John 1:17)

Carnal forces

- It was the Mysteries but it was veiled with Moses and so just like our human body is indeed us, and a very important part of us, we came here to obtain our bodies.
- That's why we came to this world, we had to learn in the school, we had to experience the carnal forces and these laws and Jesus overcame so that we could overcome.
- But that's just the way things work, you have to experience suffering in order to be able to appreciate happiness.

In the flesh

- We all chose, and all of us chose to come here and incarnate into these bodies.
- Our Lord Jesus chose to come into the flesh, he became flesh and we knew him not as the great Christ anymore, but as a man in the flesh.
- He willingly died and he taught us that this physical body is an illusion and it's temporary.
- Moses is temporary, but who's this Elijah that was to restore all things.

Moses in fear

- Just as Moses received a revelation of this angry wrathful God, and then he stood back and the mountain quaked and it was darkness and thick gloom.
- Moses was in great fear and he was trembling and frightened out of his mind.
- He said please don't kill us all and this God of wrath told him 'I will not pardon thee and I'll make you pay until the 3rd and 4th generation.'
- That didn't seem quite right to the prophets.

Mountain

- Elijah represents another age and another time and Elijah went up into a mountain as well.
- Remember, Moses went to a mountain and found God, but it wasn't the best revelation of God.
- Elijah went up into a mounain and he asked God where he was and he couldn't find him.
- He said, that's not God, I couldn't find God, because he said, that's not God.
- So he listened very carefully and it was an earthquake that wasn't our Father.
- He knew that YHWH wasn't connecting to the Most High.

Whirlwind and a fire

- There was a whirlwind and a fire and Elijah knew it was not our Father.
- There was thunder and a commotion and that wasn't anything like Elijah's Father.
- Finally he listened and heard his still small voice and he knew that was his Father.
- The still small self within you, the Holy Spirit, speaks very quietly and you have to listen very carefully but Elijah had a revelation of God and then he went to his disciples.
- Fifty prophets gathered in Bethel where they worship and this was the school of prophets that Elijah started.

Fifty men from the company of the prophets went and stood at a distance, facing the place where Elijah and Elisha had stopped at the Jordan. (2 Kings 2:7)

Chariot of fire

- They began to delve into the Mysteries and learn the truth about who Our Father in Heaven is and they wrote all the prophecies that we now know as the Biblical prophets.
- Elisha (Jesus), who was Elijah's (John) successor was standing there and Elijah was translated in a chariot of fire.
- So what Elijah really represents is a vehicle, a different type of body.
- Remember Moses was all about the body, the physical, carnal body and the law.
- But Elijah is about this firey chariot that just lifts off this earth, translates right off the earth.
- So this is about the flesh and the spirit.

As they were walking along and talking, behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire separated the two of them, and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. As Elisha was watching, he was crying out, “Avi! Avi! The chariot of Israel and its horsemen!” Then he saw him no more. So he took hold of his own clothes and tore them in two pieces. (2 Kings 2:11-12)

Uniting physical and spiritual

- All of us have both the physical and the spiritual and those were the two things that were there on the mountain of transfiguration.
- You see Jesus came to enter into the physical body and then unite that physical with that spiritual chariot of fire and experience that translation and he was transfigured before them.
- The apostles Peter, James and John were witnesses in this transfiguration and this is why Jesus brought three with him because in the law it says that where there are two or three witnesses, every matter is established.

Ascension

- This is why in the latter days we're going to have two witnesses, and what will they be?
- They will be witnesses to this transfiguration, this exaltation, this deliverance to the Ascension.
- There's going to be a group that will ascend, and there will be another group that witnesses the Ascension.
- Certain individuals on this earth are going to have to learn to harmonize and combine all of this ancient wisdom that we've accumulated.
- All the ancient scriptures, which is the body, or the teachings.

Transfiguration

- We're going to have to get the point and be transformed in our body and leave this earth and fly up in yonder heavens and experience higher truths than what has been left in this body, this old corpse.
- We're going to have to see it first hand and that is the transfiguration.
- The resurrection event we're all waiting for where we are born again, where we are transformed at the last day in a twinkling of an eye.
- That last day there will be certain people who will be transformed.

So is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable. (1 Corinthians 15:42)

Fulfilling

- It won't be because we're standing around and repeating the same words over and over again, glory, glory, glory, and it won't be because we go to a certain church.
- But it will be because we are transmuting all of this physical, Moses and all of this law, overcoming it, nulling it, making it void, and instead, fulfilling it through love.
- This mount of transfiguration, they're on a mountain, just like Moses was on a mountain.
- Elijah was on a mountain and we're going to ascend from the mountain or the pinnacle of this heightened awareness, this revelation.

While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!” When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified. But Jesus came and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don’t be afraid.” When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus. (Matthew 17:5-8)

Pocket watcher of a God

- The Book of Revelation says 144,000 are going to overcome the Beast, this system.
- This Beast that is the administration of the law which is the God of this world, Jehovah.
- He comes as the wild beast to destroy and attack us, the accuser, who accuses us to our Father, day and night before his throne.
- He is the slanderer and we have to overcome this and not receive the mark of the beast.
- Or the concept of law, the guilt, but instead, receive the seal of our Father, the new name, and the name of our fathers.

Gathering of all of Israel

- Not Jehovah, but the name of our Father in Heaven shall be written upon our foreheads and in our consciousness and in our hands and our actions.
- And we'll overcome the Beast by the word of our witnessing and we'll be witnesses to this transfiguration that Christ achieved and we will be transfigured with him.

Moses body missing

- The 144,000 is 12,000 from each tribe and it is the gathering of Israel and the gathering of the body of Moses which is all the scriptures and all the ancient wisdom that all the Israelites, wherever they went into the world attained.
- Wherever they scattered throughout the world and whatever they spoke all written in parables, the body, the dead law will be gathered together and interpreted.

Spiritual vehicle

- We'll put together spiritual understanding which will be like a vehicle which will create the ascension in our minds so that we can overcome these carnal laws and get rid of the guilt and achieve the translation.
- This will happen at the last trumpet and this is that moment where the Book of Revelation says there's 144,000 that stand on the mountain with Christ.
